This may have been under-appreciated in GD, but then again it might just have generated no comments...

Adapted in the tradition of folk music, from original by Dave Crossland on album of same name. Purple Beech Music, 1992. Crossland's original is about running for an Ohio state senate seat and has more verses...you can hear the melody at

Here's to the Ride!

Here’s to the horse that gallops to the end.
Here’s to the race they say you’ll never win.
Here’s to the times you thought you never should have tried,
But, oh, most of all, Here’s to the ride!

Ah, they always come out smiling, waving flags and shaking hands
Selling fear in the future, "we’ll protect what you have.”
But you see through the lies; you’ve heard them all before,
and your gonna make him run...right out the White House doors!

Chorus

Oh the White House is tall and the White House is wide
And you know it don’t belong to the outlaws inside.
So it’s call to the cities -- Awake the countryside!
‘Cause the waiting is over. _Now_ it’s time to Ride!

And here’s to the horse that gallops to the end.
Here’s to the race they say you’ll never win.
Here’s to the times you thought you never should have tried
But, oh, most of all, here’s to the ride!
